Would this be something that we could use here?

How does one go about converting microfiche to digital media?

First off it would be great for personal use..... if you had a machine to read it.
That stuff is tiny....

Second, we wouldn't be able to post it here due to copyright laws.

Third... I don't know how in hell you'd transfer it to digital.

we got one of those machines at work...

and if you did have a way to make it digital, you could make some serious money if it was legal...

There are microfiche to digital machines and services offered over the internet. Looks like big dough for both. The one you have at work, is it just a viewer or a scanner?

Not really looking to make a buck here. It'* more for the convenience and accuracy of part ordering.

If you could scan those at 2400dpi or so, That'd blow em up pretty big. They want about 4x what'* normal for ten two sided pages tho, So hopefully they really do have everything.

Hrm this might be interesting...

Now remember you would not be allowed to post here what you scan.
(But you 'could' share via email)
